Chapter 910: Ruler of Esports 24

“New streamer? Already top five on the gift leaderboard? Did she just boost it?”

“This popularity looks fake. Isn’t the platform monitoring this?”

…

What those questioning viewers didn’t expect was that as soon as they spoke, Tang Wan’s fans immediately pushed back.

“Boost your head! We built this ranking one compliment at a time for the moderator, okay?”
“Exactly! With skills like hers—and she’s a girl—why wouldn’t her popularity explode?”

The newcomers were left confused.

What is even going on here?

…

At the same time, on another stream—

Qiqi had just gone live.

Almost immediately, her chat filled with messages.

“Qiqi, there’s a shameless female streamer boosting her popularity!”
“She hasn’t even shown her face—probably just some guy using a voice changer!”
“There’s a streamer called Heart-Wrenching Egg who’s also playing Li Bai!”

Qiqi frowned slightly when she saw the comments.

But she quickly softened her expression and replied in a sweet, gentle tone, “There are actually a lot of girls streaming Honor of Kings. Don’t be so surprised. If you want to play, just talk to the moderator and queue up.”

“Okay, Qiqi!” her fans responded enthusiastically.

…

What no one expected—

At that exact moment, Tang Wan had just finished a match and entered another queue.

Because both accounts were at similar ranks, the matchmaking system placed them into the same game.

Opponents.

…

During the hero selection phase, only teammates’ names were visible, so neither side realized yet.

On Qiqi’s side, a fan who recognized her quickly spoke up.

“Qiqi, are you playing Li Bai today? Want me to help you grab it?”

“Okay, thank you,” Qiqi replied sweetly.

“No problem! Just carry us later!”
“Wow, I matched with Qiqi today!”
“Qiqi, I love you! I’ll protect you!”

…

Meanwhile, on Tang Wan’s side—

Li Bai was instantly picked by the enemy.

Her viewers immediately reacted.

“What’s the streamer going to play now?”

Though she couldn’t see the barrage clearly, Tang Wan still spoke to maintain engagement.

“Hmm… since Li Bai was taken,” she said calmly, “I’ll play Han Xin this round.”

She locked in Han Xin.

…

After both teams finalized their picks, the screen transitioned into the loading phase.

Now—

Player names were visible.

The moment Qiqi’s fans saw the opposing ID, they exploded.

“Qiqi! That ‘Heart-Wrenching Egg’ is the boosting streamer!”
“Crush her!”
“Show her what real Li Bai looks like!”

…

On Tang Wan’s side, her fans also recognized the name.

“Wait—that’s Qiqi!”
“Streamer, the enemy assassin is also a streamer—and a Li Bai main!”
“Be careful!”

Little Cutie hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

“Host… the Li Bai on the opposite side is the female lead,” he reminded her.

…

Tang Wan’s expression turned cold.

To be honest, Qiqi didn’t have much interaction with the original host.

But there had been one encounter—

And it wasn’t pleasant.

Back then, when she had asked Lin Haiyang to buy her milk tea, she had run into the original host… and mocked her mercilessly.

One sentence, in particular, stood out—

A girl who couldn’t even reach King rank wasn’t worthy of standing beside Lin Haiyang.

…

Tang Wan’s lips curled slightly.

Cold.

Sharp.

So today—

She’d let her see exactly what “unworthy” really meant.
